This country is located between Africa and Europe where the classical culture of the West meets the sensuality of the East. That’s why Catholicism and freedom, traditions and modern influences coexist here in close connection. We are going to tell you about best gifts and souvenirs that are worth taking back home as they reveal the true nature of Spain.
ContentsWhat comes first to your mind when you think of Valencia? There are two variants: famous football team of the same name (does it ring a bell?)) and the golden coast of the Mediterranean sea. Moors called Valencia “heaven on earth” and for a reason: amazing architecture, sapphire sea and romantic atmosphere of this third biggest Spanish city (after Madrid and Barcelona) make it most attractive for tourists.
Granada is an island located in the southern part of the country. It lies near the coast of Venezuela and here specific Caribbean mindset combines with hot temper of South America. Granada is called “Spice isle”, as this small island produces huge amounts of nutmeg, cinnamon, clover, cacao and ginger. Besides, there are lots of other interesting things.
Madrid is a city of furious energy, the city of fiesta and siesta, filled with excitement of bullfighting and passionate tablao flamenco. The capital of the country offers you a wide range of souvenirs: typical Spanish gifts as well as those specific to Madrid. Both kinds are worth bringing home from your trip. Madrid cuisine combines the best specialties of Spain and anyone knows about FC Real Madrid as well.
Barcelona is so colorful and cheerful that you can almost feel that the air of this city is sparkling like champagne. The famous buildings designed by Antoni Gaudi are scattered throughout the city like a colorful mosaic in the atmosphere of constant exhilaration. A typical day in Barcelona: mellow laughter is heard flowing out of dozens of cafes during afternoon siesta, a young man plays the guitar for hours sitting on a lawn in Citadel Park just a few steps from a young Catalan girl who dozes over a book.
Of course, splendid cities and no less splendid regions of Spain are innumerable and you are sure to find something unique in every part of this country. Our opinion is that Spain is certainly worth visiting.
